to the blaze which was doing the best it could As usual hose wagon arrived on the scene before the ponderous steamer and Driver Acree ran to the box Hose was stretched down Second street and up the alley to the fire As the steamer reached the corner of Virginia street and Commercial Row it was baited and attachment was made to the plug There was a delay of some length until the hose wagon could return from where it had strung hose and lay another line Meanwhile the fire had assumed such that it required two whole buckets of water to put it out By this time the department was in action and the embers were cooled off By the way the hydrant pressure was indicated on the steamer as fifteen pounds while the engine ran it up to 160 pounds Read the Signs Special to The GLASGOW Oct addressed
